Re: [PATCH v4 13/13] x86/amd-gart: preserve the direct DMA address until GART mapping succeeds

gart_alloc_coherent() first allocates memory through dma_direct_alloc(),
which returns a direct-mapped DMA address in dma_addr. When force_iommu is
enabled, the buffer is then remapped.

Do not overwrite dma_addr before dma_map_area() has succeeded. Keep the
dma_map_area result in a temporary variable so the direct DMA address
remains available for dma_direct_free() on the error path.

This needs corresponding changes on the gart_free_coherent() side as well.

I will avoid making that change as part of this series, since I assume
it would require specific testing.
